Welcome Dinwiddie. Looking forward to him and Hayes connecting on some lobs against the Piston second unit tonight. Hoping he becomes for us what he was for Dallas.

Dinwiddie for 22 pts, 7 ast, 4 reb, 2 stl, is my guess.

Let’s go Lakers!

Man, so nice to start games with leads. Playing smaller with Prince, DLo and Reaves would waste 12-14 AD/LeBron minutes a game.

Resting LeBron the last 4 minutes of the second quarter does nothing. Such a waste of rest. If they want to rest him 4 minutes in the second quarter, take him out at the 7 minute mark and bring him back after the under 4 minute timeout.

It’s good to see Dinwiddie with four assists in the first half.

Our defense is looking better. Offense is flowing.

D Lo’s defense has really improved this season. Kudos!

31 minutes and 7 assists for Dinwiddie.

His 4 turnovers aren’t good but overal, a decent debut

I know. He’s still the worst starting defender in the NBA but at least he tries a bit now.

Oh yeah for sure he tries. I know this guy clocks in every day properly. I definitely wasn't one of the ones screaming for him to be traded off since last playoffs I always wanted to hold onto him bc he will come back again but his swings are too spread out and inconsistent which of course would make him a star if he can sort of flip the switch.
I was tongue in cheek in my reply because this guy thinks, and I hope this playoffs run he'll have a better adjustment and be a good factor this time. (I don't think he's had significant playoffs experience other than last year)

Rui looked like the better version of himself in the last two games.
